Today--in my world--November 9, 2015 marks the one year anniversary of the birth of the Jaeger program. Happy First Birthday to Mark-1 Brawler Yukon.

And I really did not want to have to make this post on today, of all days, but I've put it off long enough.



Robotics Engineer and Jaeger pilot Mako Mori appears have been ported out.


[Here Newt thinks "I don't know how to do this in a personal sense. I've never been good with this and I've spent too many years with the PPDC. All I know is form letters. 'We regret to inform you...'"]

I hope she's gone home to kick some Kaiju ass.

[He includes a picture of Mako's beautiful model of (ironically the last Jaeger) Gipsy Danger 2.0. Newt and Hermann will be keeping this for her in the hope that she returns. Or to give to Raleigh or Pentecost, should they appear before she does. He's not sure if he selfishly hopes she returns, or is happy for her that she's gotten to go home.]

If there was anything in her possession that belonged to you and you would like it returned, please forward your request to either me or Dr. Gottlieb.

Thank you.


[If Newt has seemed a lot more subdued since the 7th, and in the next few days, this is the reason. It's frightening to think that someone he knows could disappear overnight. He really doesn't like to consider the implications. He's not great at expressing his feelings, nor were he and Mako especially close, but she was a valued member of their team, kind and caring, bright and capable; he respected her abilities. He's going to miss her quiet smiles and her calming presence.]

[Hermann's return smile is alight with amusement]

And what is that? They need to be able to tolerate me? That does sound fairly difficult.
mathemagier: lern 2 smile bro (Dork)

[Have a chuckle too, Newt]

Now you're truly dooming yourself. Best stay to more casual relationships in that case.

[Takes another drink]

Hmm.. we haven't lived much yet, have we? Schooling, then the Kaiju.. Can't fault you for that, I suppose.
mathemagier: and try to sound less like an idiot (Repeat that please)

You were in college for ten years, Newton.

Newton, I spent six years in Berlin earning my doctorate, so I can say that while some experiences were invaluable and rather enjoyable, it does not exactly qualify.

[Damn that's a yawn isn't it]

I'm saying I don't fault you for it. Most men our age are beginning to settle down- or desire as much.

I don't know. [He really doesn't. It takes considerable effort to lean forward to set his glass back down, and he slumps back with a sigh] ..We should go to bed.
mathemagier: sit down shut up and listen (Science bros)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-11-11 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Hermann stares at Newton's back, then just because it's there, lays a hand over his spine.]

If I did, I think I'd want someone like you. But I don't think.. that's going to happen.
mathemagier: stop and go (Red light)

[Hermann's hand slips off Newton's back, but he smiles up at his roommate and doesn't think much of the sudden change. He grasps for the man's hand and allows himself to be hauled up, then searches briefly for his cane. He keeps one hand on Newton's arm for steadiness as they slowly make their way toward his bedroom]

Things like this, I don't have to ask you. You already know.. everything.

Well there's also your intelligence and charm to consider. Such a rare combination. ..But really, Newton. I do appreciate everything you've done for me.

[Hermann returns the gesture with a grateful pat as he parts from Newton and rounds the bed to slowly start stripping down to sleep]

Are you going to sleep here tonight?

[Hermann shrugs, unable to confirm or deny the statement at his current level of intoxication, and decides to sleep in his pants as opposed to trying to remove them. His fingers manage the belt after several moments so he can do so comfortably at least.]

I am going straight to sleep, I promise you. So unless your hands are the type to wander, I doubt there's any need for that.
mathemagier: I'm explaining a thing (Quiet pls)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-11-11 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hermann hums something skeptical but amused, and makes sure his cane is within easy reach before carefully climbing into bed himself. He's reaching for the lamplight when a sound from the doorway and a flash of orange fur alights on the bed]

Liebling, joining us for bed? [She's a good cat, but she doesn't answer of course, just turns around in a circle to clean after he pets her. Hermann tugs the light off and settles into bed with a sigh]

Newton will kick you out if you don't settle down.
mathemagier: seriously attractive (Laugh lines)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-11-12 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Hermann smiles over at her, just able to make out the kneading motions in the dark and reaches over to pet her again, voice all sleepy fond indulgence]

Good girl. ..Good night, Newton.
